Because at the time Geschwind lived, this was Hungary. Slovakia did not come into existence until after WW I.

I prefer to see him as a great Central European rose hybridiser ... Just my 2 cents.

I agree with lanling and hannes but cannot with jedmar. In the Geschwinds time it was the Austria-Hungarian Empire and now is Austria, Czech republik, Hungary, Slovakia and some other states from.

But we could not really call him a Slovakian rose breeder, could we? His parents were German. His publications are in German. In the Introduction to his book on Hybridisation, he speaks of himself as one of German rose breeders. He spoke both German and Slovakian, but not Hungarian. On the other hand, he sent out his climbers to Ketten Frères in Luxembourg under the name "Hungarian Climbers". He probably saw himself as a German-speaking inhabitant of the Austria-Hungarian empire, living in what was then Hungary.
Maybe we should name the country Austria-Hungary, like we also have USSR and Russia.
